Prayer really works because tonight I had to ask the Lord please keep me from putting my foot up this man's behind. I was running sound at a bar but because I was playing first it was hard for me to tweak it. When the next person got up I went to adjust it and he made it known in a not so nice way how he felt about the audio by basically calling my equipment crap and me incompetent. I can accept criticism. I said thanks for telling me and went to walk away and he grabbed my arm. So I tried to pull away and he grabbed my arm again and wouldn't let me go while he continued to berate me. I finally got away from him and I told the bartender about it. I said I would let it go if there was no more troubel but to make a long story short when it was dude's turn to perform he asked to use my guitar even though he had his own. I told him no because I don't know him. He went off on me and told me he was leaving and I'd be sorry. I kept my cool and told him there is the door and to feel free to use it. The lady he was with was so embarrased and kept apologizing. I'd overheard him ealier getting nasty with other people in the bar. The bartender told me the man only had a dollar and had asked if he would buy half a beer. I've never even cussed out anyone but I thought I was about to knock the hell out that dude.

I got my first grey hair at 12. My dad, had a FULL head of "Salt N Pepper" hair when he died...at 32.

I'm 49, and my natural color is a grey/dark brown mix...more grey.

Breathe. You'll be okay.

Girl I "dated" you to at maybe 42-43 based on your hints but I would have never said 49. Seriously. You got a HEALTHY dose of "black don't crack" all up in your genes.

Everybody does not have a long hair goal. Everybody don't do "length checks" (I hate "length checks"...sorry) every other month. For some, hair is an accessory...it can change, based on what the person wants to "wear" at a particular time. Some YouTube subscribers need to get a life. Yeah.."I am not my hair" is right....and you are not my hair either.

People do not have to give a reason for cutting their hair. A good enough reason is "Because I wanted to". It's okay to have 5 years in the natural game, and NOT have waist length hair, if waist length hair isn't the goal.

Sometimes you get tired of foolin' with your hair...the longer it grows, the more tiresome it can be maintaining it. Yeah...BSL was great, but I may NEVER go back, because I'm tired. Is that okay?

Sometimes removing hair is an outward expression of removing something else, that needed to be gone. It's a way for the person to move on, start new.

Point is this: Stop taking somebody's hair cut personally. It has nothing to do with you. They don't have to give a reason, and if they don't feel a need to explain in a video, don't feel a need to press them about it. If they had wanted to explain their short hair, they would have. They didn't, so get a clue. Welcome them back from their hiatus, and keep it movin'.

I am glad that you are safe and had the patience not to react negatively. Who knows what more he would have been ready to do! Only a dollar at the bar? No Visa, no Discover... and he wanted to use your instrument... he would have stole IT or broke it on purpose!
